Photo Number 1535

This CdV is from Craig’s Collection. A CdV or cartes-de-visitie usually measures 2 1/2 inches by 4 inches, although some are a tad shorter at 3 3/4 inches. None of these CDV’s have tax stamps. Tax Stamps helped to fund the Civil War and the stamps appeared from August 1864 and August 1866. So all of these will date to sometime after 1866.

Someone wrote on this one Aunt Talya

The cardstock on this CDV is very thin, the corners are square and you can see the woman’s ears, I think this may be from the late 1860’s.

Welcome!

This is my place for photos that have been forgotten and left behind. A look into the past. They were in a couple of boxes in an Antique shop..I couldn't resist them. I now search Antique Shops and Garage sales for old photos. If possible I like to return them to family. There are links to older Full Circles at the bottom of this page :)
